Int J Cardiol. 2010 May 28;141(2):198-200. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2008.11.089. Epub 2008 Dec 23.

Abstract

Anemia and renal failure (RF) are related to poor prognosis in chronic heart failure (HF). Anemia appear early in the course of RF and its value as predictor of risk in HF may be overlap by the value of RF. We aimed to establish the prognostic value of anemia and RF in a Brazilian HF population.
